  1. Who will be the most major character to die?
  I'll go with Dumbledore, even if I think it would make more sense 
for him not to die until book 7.
 
 2. Who is the Half-Blood Prince? (If "The Old Lion Guy," describe
 more.)
 Godric Griffyndor

 3. What is Lily's big secret? (This question will be eliminated and
 full credit given to everyone if no big secret is revealed.)

She doesn't have one.  (Which I suppose leaves me out to dry if I'm 
right.  :p) 
 
 4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?
 The Old Lion Guy, who will be a new teacher and a bona fide decent   
DADA instructor.
 
 5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?
 In book 6, noone.  There will be some flirting with Ginny, but 
nothing substantial will emerge until book 7.
 
 6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?
 Amelia Bones
 
 7. What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover?
 A pensieve.  Ok, I should probably be more specific than that.  
Let's say Riddle/Lord V's penseive, just to be different.
 
 8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions?
 Yes
 
 9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?
 No
 
 10. How many OWLs did Harry get?
 10 (some of the tests will allow for multiple OWLs)
 
 
 Predictions (0-10 points each):
 
Harry will only have received an "E" in potions.  Early in book 6, 
Harry and the readers will assume that it was Dumbledore or McGonagal 
who leaned on Snape to let Harry into advanced potions.  Late in the 
book, it will be revealed that letting Harry take advanced potions 
was Snape's idea.

Harry will become a metamorphmagus. (*yawn*  At least it wouldnt be 
another animagus.)

Ron and Hermione will finally stop beating around the bush and become 
a bona fide couple.

Ron will be quidditch captain, but only because Harry doesn't want to.

It's revealed that Snape and McG are married.  (Hello, left field!)
